Question

Based on the cladogram, if moths undergo complete metamorphosis, we would MOST LIKELY infer that

Answer 1

A.) butterflies and flies do as well

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is A) "butterflies and flies do as well".

Explanation:

Cladograms are graphic representations of the evolutionary relationships of species, where the branches and the closeness of the species represent the degree of similarity. In this case, the "butterflies, moths" and the "flies" are the ones closest to each other. Therefore, these species are the most similar and if moths under complete metamorphosis, we would most likely infer that butterflies and flies do as well. I attached the missing cladogram.
